Luke. Leia. Han. Chewie. Artoo. Threepio. All present and accounted for as StarWars.com unveiled the official cast of "Star War: Episode VII" Tuesday.
Here's the full release:
The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.
Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.
Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."
Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on Dec. 18, 2015.
While original stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford had dropped hints that they would be reprising their roles for the new chapter, which takes place around 35 years after "Return of the Jedi," nothing was confirmed until today. The trio will be joined by longtime castmates Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca).
New additions include Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, who recently appeared together in the Coen brothers' 2013 folk music drama "Inside Llewyn Davis." Also onboard: Andy Serkis (best known as Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy), Domhnall Gleeson ("About Time",) and the legendary Max von Sydow ("The Exorcist"). Fresh faces John Boyega ("Attack the Block") and Daisy Ridley (who has appeared in just a handful of BBC dramas) round out the cast.
Khent wants to go camping with you.
You don’t have to; there’s been a confirmed sighting of that little flaming monster running amok in Karachi, pursuing a screaming JarJar Binks with a gagball, a bullwhip, and a 55 gallon barrel of scented Vaseline...
It WASN’T pretty...
A multimillion dollar contract will do that for you.

So funny.
I don’t know why TNG switched the colors and had the Captain wear a red shirt instead!
Love the show.
Khent texted a few minutes ago, said he’s in Jersey.
I think it would give me gas.
Because subliminally, they wanted him to get eaten by a Delvorgian Bullthrush... or something.
One of my favorite episodes was “Yesterday’s Enterprise”.
And of course, all of the Borg episodes were neat.
But overall, I liked the original series the best.
Parts of Jersey DO look a LOT like Karachi... I can see how Khent would be confused.
Some of the residents... hard to tell WHERE the eff they’re from. Not America, for sure.
Come to think of it... a LOT of the residents look like JarJar Binks, too.
I learned this so long ago I couldn't tell you where I first heard it. Maybe a special on the making of the original series(first three). This one is fun trivia.
In January 11, 1977, a day before he was set to shoot one of the final scenes needed for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Hamill was involved in a car accident that caused substantial damage to his face. A double was used for the scene of Luke racing across the desert in his landspeeder while Mark was hospitalized.
.......
An in-universe explanation for his scarring was developed for Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back where he is mauled by a Wampa, which seemed to be a pretty good way to many to allow him to continue, even with the scar.
Mark Hamill (Star Wars Wika)
Khent said you are right. He said he’s going to sleep in your driveway tonight.
If that little homomonster comes anywhere NEAR my house, I’ll break his Barry Manilow, Village People, and Elton John record collection over his head... and force him to wear a polyester Leisure Suit that clashes with his purse and shoes.
He WILL be sobbing in the corner again, I guarantee it.
This movie needs more lens flare.
I do remember the Wampa scene; it had him hanging upside down in the ice cave.
Well, that’s a good writer there, that can blend something like into the storyline.
The Great Gildersleeve was played by Harold Peary.
Khent’s ready to rumble; he said to bolt your doors and hide your pets.
“...hide your pets...”
He can have the neighbor’s cat... it’s the ONLY P***y he’s likely to get.
OUCH!!!
Next time ‘the Empire’ is on watch the first 20 minutes (that’s what DVRs are for, they are magic) and see how they block Hamill’s face until after that scene.
Trivia can make it new again.
